    Got a lovely laptop tray yesterday. A Judy Astley I hadn't read, and a wooden picture frame that I am going to use for a message board by painting the insert with blackboard paint!
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    Those are the bags in the pic: drawstring cut from the detatched sleeves fed around the bottom seam or tassels cut into the bottom tied to their opposite to seal the bottom. Bingo! :D

    I was at work when I saw your post and it wasn't showing the pic. sorry about that.

    Hi everyone :)

    Haven't posted on here for such a long time since having my son i've hardly had time to come on this forum or go charity shopping (some shops aren't pushchair friendly). I popped into my local ones yesterday and got

    *Topshop Playsuit £3.25
    *Topshop Butterfly printed blouse £3.50
    *Hollister Checked Shirt £2.20
    *Next Heart Print Top £3.50
    *River Island Floral blouse £3.99

    Spent less than £20 so very happy. Also been going to the carboot every weekend since the start of the season and been getting lots of lovely bargains. Love reading about all your bargains.

    Suze :)

    Had a go on the tombola too, and won one of those retro looking knitted toilet roll covers (no doll)....complete with toilet roll....it's so kitsch, I love it! :rotfl: I was only looking at them on EBay the other day too!

    I popped into my favourite charity shop yesterday, I got 1 pair of jeans, 2 cook books, 6 kids books, a herb chopper thing, a decent travel mug and battleship game with all the bits for £4.30. I was stunned and that's why I love that shop ;-)

    Someone local to us must have a boy who is a year older in size than our son. For the third summer in a row, I've picked up a two-piece beach/swimming outfit for him for 50p from our local CS!

    Yesterday from our local hospice shop I picked up Jenga for £1, the boys love it, and a set of vintage shot glasses in the original box for £1.50. They are so pretty covered in little gold stars, I'm not sure how to put a picture on here when I'm on my phone but I put pictures on my blog if anyone wants a peek (link is on the drop down menu under my name)

    Yesterday I got Calvin Klein jeans for a fiver they look brand new. Also got two dolce and gabana tops for £4 each and a few other lovely high street brands as well. Spent almost £40 in total over two days in two areas. For that I got jeans, 2 shorts, a dress and eight tops. That's £3.33 an item!
